Give 716
This year, the Erie 1 BOCES Educational Foundation is looking to raise $5,000 to support our new Erie 1 BOCES Educational Campus!
In response to the growing demand for more comprehensive and inclusive educational services, Erie 1 BOCES is building a new campus located at 2911 Walden Avenue in Depew, anticipated to open in 2027.
The building will feature six different courtyards, and funds from Give 716 Day will go towards the courtyard for alternative education high school students. The courtyard will feature turf flooring, filled with a variety of portable, large outdoor games and recreational equipment.
Funds will go towards purchasing this equipment, which will create an engaging, fun environment for students to play and learn. This space will evolve with students’ needs over time, and your generous donations will go a long way towards our educational goals for our students.
The Instructional Services Expansion is an exciting project that you can play a part in through the Give 716 campaign. The campus will house 500 K-12 Special and Alternative Education students, Career and Technical Education programs, higher education partners, and community resources. When the construction of the 219,000 square-foot campus is complete, it will emerge as one of the largest specialized educational campuses in the state.
We greatly appreciate your consideration to invest in the future of our students. Thank you for your support!
